A potential tropical cyclone advisory was issued this week for parts of Southeast Texas, prompting Gov. Greg Abbott to activate the state’s emergency response resources ahead of the potential storm.

Mr. Abbott announced in a news release on Monday that he had ordered the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to prepare for the storm’s impact on communities along the Gulf Coast.
